Are you a computer scientist with a strong background in Linked Data and/or knowledge graphs and keen to contribute to research infrastructure across the field of Social Sciences and Humanities (SSH)? Would you like to be a member of a national team of leading researchers within those domains? Would you like to work on increasing interoperability between those domains by implementing FAIR methods that facilitate SSH data, tools and software to be shared, linked and combined?
Then you could be the ideal Postdoc candidate to join our team! Please apply at Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam.
The User-Centric Data Science group (UCDS) has an open position for a postdoctoral (PD) researcher in the field of FAIR Linked Data for the Social Sciences and Humanities (SSH). You will become a member of the team of SSHOC-NL, a new 5-year national interdisciplinary research project. SSHOC-NL is a consortium of research infrastructures aimed at creating an ecosystem of services, data and tools for the social sciences and humanities. Together with Dr. Ronald Siebes and Prof. Dr. Jacco van Ossenbruggen you will research methods and develop tools and infrastructure to make research data, workflows and tools findable, accessible, interoperable and reusable (FAIR). More specifically, you will work on topics such as infrastructure of interoperable vocabularies for SSH research data, entity linking across datasets, interoperability in dataset annotation and transparent dataset search. An important part of the position is co-design of research and co-creation of knowledge with a wide variety of societal and research partners from various disciplines. An inter- or multidisciplinary background and good communication skills are therefore important assets.
